I am swapping in my 2.4. I am using a 90 style oil filter housing. I need to swap the 2g sensors over thing have read.There are three on my 2g housing. one small threaded one is oil pressure switch think it is..that one I assume sets low oil light. That one screws in fine to my 90 housing. Then you have the big oil pressure gauge sending unit.
It has small threaded end like the oil pressure switch.I hava few outlets on my oil filter housing but they are larger than the oil pressure sending unit. Do I just get a thread adapter and screw the 2g sender in one of the spare holes.does it matter where I put it?

Next question using 1g water tower .It has like four senders..one top of housing and three lower down....one is ect sender for computer, one is small little thing 1/4 size and there is some other one.
The 2g uses one big one it looks like and one small 1/4 thing.Does it matter where I put them .I would think just block off or leave the old unused ones in there?

I have my sensors on the lower part of the thermostat housing as that is where the temperature would change first. The 1g housing has provisions for EGR on it, thats what the large plastic nipples are for. They are un-needed in your 2g and it can be replaced with a water line nipple or a plug depending on your needs.

I've also got an aftermarket water temp sensor in the small extra slot on the back of the housing, you could do the same or simply block it off.
